Before/During/After Photos!

[Graywolf 0]

I know some people don't want to post their pictures here, and that is ok. Whether it be internet identity related, or just too shy, I can respect that.

But for those of you who want to show us your Before/During/After pictures, post them here. You can always go back and edit your posts with more pics once the pounds start dropping off in a few months.

Lets start at the beginning, and see the change over time.

I'll go first :biggrin: I couldn't find any full length pics of me, perhaps I will have one taken of me soon so I can see the change better. Perhaps in the same pose/clothes too. Something to think about.

Until then, here's what I got.

Me and my son at his birthday party.

I'm not afraid!

This picture is old however...... I was doing Atkins on and off for a few years, and belonged to a forum where I made myself accountable, and took pictures.

I have it labeled with weight and date.

When I went to see Dr. Gazayerli, I weighed in at 350... but I started the year at 362. My highest ever was 375.5.

Today I am 331.1, so I'm about 35 pounds heavier in this picture than I currently am.... but, it still reflects ME. (However, I have only had light hair ONCE in my life, and it's in this picture)

Okie dokie, here we go! This is not the most recent (from Jan) or complimentary photo, but I think it is a pretty good representation of how I look on average.

Great pics ladies! I can't wait to see the change in you two!

Oohh Karen, I'm totally going to do what you did in your pic! Now to just get hubby to take them!

HEY...... where's the rest of the PIX people????

C'mon now.... you're gonna be REALLY pissed if you didn't take before pictures!! Go charge those cameras, and get to snapping!

Don't make me come there and do it..... I'll use a WIDE ANGLE lens <evil grin>

Okay ladies here is my before pic taken during a recent cruise to the carribean... you'll notice that I had to blur out my face and the reason for that is that there are certain people in my life who are very jealous, envious , manipulative and I need to be the queen of the show types !! and I dont want them to know that I am doing this, cause I know that they will try to turn into a " oh so that's the only way you could loose the weight" type of deal....I know you guys understand....

FFC,

Wow... some of our friends must run in the same circles!! ROFL (if you haven't already done the Top Ten List thread in the August 2009 Bandsters section..... check out my #5!!)

Anyway..... great before pic!! I think you're a ROCK STAR now... I can't imagine how you'll be in a year!! SUPER GLAM ROCK STAR??

Hugs,

Karen

Ok this is my most recent pre-operation full body pic. Weight is about 250 or so! My most recent pre-op weight was 243. But that was right before surgery on a completely empty stomach!!

Okay...how the heck do I post pictures? HELP KAREN!!

[tripletmomma2000 3]

Jenny!

You can put your pictures in your "album" (click on your picture on your posting, and on the right, you should see "album"...... if you haven't created one, do it, and you can upload pictures there) once you've done that, you can use the URL code it gives you to post your picture.

You can also click the "go advanced" button on the window that you're posting on (at the bottom) and you'll get more options..... including a paperclip. Click on the paperclip icon, and you can choose a file from your computer to attach to the posting (which is what I did)

HTH!

Karen,

i knew there was a reason why I liked you !!!!! :tongue2:

Jen,

When you click on "Post Reply" at the bottom under the smiliey faces there is an option that says "manage attachments" it will ask you where to get the file from. If its on your computer click on the first section and search for the file, highlight and click open or attach, then just follow the prompts and this should attach the pic to your posting.

Hi Guys

Here is a 'collage' I made for my journal of photos of me in the years leading up to surgery.
